Let's go through growing roses from seed, all the way from seed collecting, stratification, germination and transplant. I have another couple of vids on the topic of rose seeds. The first one covers the question of what to expect: https://youtu.be/z_TGEXdKTkk The second one shows how to clean the seeds from rose hips: https://youtu.be/NqZBq-HyWwI If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out: Have a look at our Amazon shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/fraservalleyrosefarm Follow our farm on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraservalleyrosefarm Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FraserValleyRoseFarm Or better yet, subscribe to this Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/FraserValleyRoseFarm?sub_confirmation=1 And for a place to indulge in random garden anarchy: https://www.facebook.com/groups/unrulyrosesociety/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTFAVxrG6Pk

Have you ever wanted to see a direct comparison between fluorescent and LED grow lights for starting seedlings? I caught up with Marty van den Bosch, who put together this "Grow Light Shootout" comparing 7 different lighting setups offered by a variety of suppliers. He tested them for real-world results indoors growing tomatoes, Marty calculated the purchase and operating costs, and calculated an "apples to apples" monthly cost (based on coverage of 4 trays for 18 hours of daily use). Before anyone starts dissecting the numbers, let me add these disclaimers: these prices are based on local and online purchases in Canadian dollars, and the electricity is also in local rates. They're based on prices in the spring of 2019 - this will all definitely change across time and location. Nevertheless, I think Marty's approach (even if you have to recalculate for your local and current prices) is excellent, and makes for a fair comparison. I'm grateful to Marty for having me out, agreeing to share his findings with my audience, and for the expertise he shared in this video.

I prefer to propagate plants from cuttings under timed mist (as compared to humidity domes or "tenting") - the better air circulation can reduce the risks of rot. This DIY project lets you install timed mist at a small fraction of the cost of a professional system. It's a great way for beginners to plant propagation to get some experience with managing mist - without breaking the bank!

Newer, more complete version: https://youtu.be/tPU6UOSVSBE If you're looking to prepare roses for winter, don't kill them with kindness! Late season tidying, fertilizing, and deep overwinter mulching can actually put your plants at greater risk for winter damage.
